GPT 100 miler solo - 20 weeks

Introducing the Her Trails training program designed specifically for the GPT 100 Mile Solo, created in close collaboration with Canadian ultra runner and adventurer Ray Zahab.

** this offer is for members only** 

Whether you're a seasoned trail runner, an experienced ultra athlete, or ready to take on the ultimate ultra distance, our comprehensive 20-week program is specifically designed to prepare you for the unique demands of a 100-mile trail event.

Aspiring 100-mile (160 km) runners should start their training with a solid running base. You should feel comfortable running long distances of over 32 kms and consistently logging 60+ kms weeks while remaining injury-free. Be prepared to gradually increase your training. 

In addition to your running, it is crucial that throughout this 20 weeks you incorporate all of our non-running sessions. This will keep you strong, reduce your risk of injury and build your power and stability. We are talking - strength, mobility, yoga and hiking sessions. 

Here's what you can expect from this transformative program:

→ 4-6 carefully structured run sessions per week, gradually building your endurance and mental resilience. 

→ 1-2 strength workouts per week, strategically tailored to enhance your trail running performance and endurance. These workouts focus on developing the strength, power, and stability necessary for tackling the ultra distance.

→ 1-2 mobility and yoga sessions per week to improve your flexibility, range of motion, and overall body alignment. Through targeted exercises, you'll optimise your body's mobility, reduce the risk of injuries, and improve your trail running efficiency.

→ Access to our comprehensive Life Hub, an online resource hub. From nutrition and hydration strategies to physical therapy and women's specific content, you'll find a wealth of valuable information to support your training and overall well-being.

→ Integrated coaching from our Her Trails coaching team and Ray Zahab. Engage in live weekly coaching sessions where you can interact with our coaches, seek guidance, ask questions, and receive personalised feedback tailored to your unique needs and goals. Our experienced coaches are dedicated to supporting you every step of the way, addressing any concerns, and helping you optimise your training specifically for this challenging course.

→ Invitation to a dedicated community group specifically for GPT participants. Connect with a supportive community of like-minded runners who are on the same journey. In this group, you'll find encouragement, accountability, and a space to share experiences, triumphs, and challenges as you work towards your ultra marathon goal.

→ Nutrition support: Fuelling and hydration play a critical role in ultra marathon performance. Our program includes valuable guidance on nutrition strategies, pre-race and post-race fuelling, on-the-trail nutrition options, and hydration techniques.

→ Physical therapy guidance: We understand the importance of injury prevention and recovery in ultra marathon training. That's why our program incorporates guidance from experienced physical therapists who specialise in working with ultra runners. You'll receive expert advice on injury prevention exercises and techniques to address common issues.

Food for Thought Before Signing Up for a 100-Miler:

  • Have a Solid Base: We recommend having completed a 100km race in the past 12 months to support your base and prevent injuries.

  • Mental Preparation: Do not underestimate the importance of mental preparation, even though it’s not on your training schedule. This is something we work on tirelessly with our athletes, especially those training for a 100-mile race.

  • Accountability and Growth: Our job is to help you stay accountable to a comprehensive strategy to bring out your best on race day. It is also to help you grow throughout the 20 weeks and learn an insurmountable amount about yourself in the process.

  • Commitment: Be humble enough to commit yourself fully to the training journey. Deeply consider the sacrifice before you set the goal.

  • Experience: We recommend, although it is not mandatory, that prior to taking on a 100-mile race, you should have at least a few years of training and completing shorter distance endurance events.

This program is:

🌟 Comprehensive and well-rounded, addressing all essential elements necessary to prepare you for the challenges you will face. We focus not only on physical preparation but also on mental resilience, injury prevention, nutrition, and overall well-being.

🌍 Accessible worldwide.

🤝 Supportive of building a strong community. We foster connections among participants, creating a space where you can find motivation, support, and lasting friendships. Together, we'll celebrate achievements, overcome obstacles, and inspire each other to master the ultra marathon distance.

What People Are Saying:

I just want to express my gratitude to the amazing Her trails team. I am so so happy to have discovered Her trails and have loved every aspect of the last 20weeks. The race yesterday exceeded all my expectations and was the perfect race for me. Throughout the whole race I had this unwavering belief that I could cope with anything and finish and it was because of the training program and all the mindset, breathing and nutrition advice I soaked up along the way. Thanks to you guys I had strategies to combat the nerves at the start, discipline to keep my pace early and strong intention to remain calm throughout. Seeing Sam and Harry along the way was incredibly uplifting and the course tips were so helpful. All this enabled me to enjoy the whole experience which was my number one goal but also in stark contrast to previous races where I’ve blown up, had GI issues and generally hated life. Your expertise, your infectious positivity and down to earth nature is just so engaging and welcoming. I love that I have found a tribe of women who love running in the mountains as much as I do, but even more than that, because of Her trails I have found me, I’ve found the person I want to be outside of a mum, wife and my job and I am so happy. I’ve told everyone I know about Her trails because it’s honestly been life changing for me and I want all the women around me to be able to experience it. I am still enjoying a massive runners high and can’t wait to get back on the trails. Thank you so much again, bring on UTA 2024
